=Strategy Guides=
This is a list of '''strategy guides''' licensed by [[Nintendo]] that involve ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' in some way.


== Prima Games ==
{{w|Prima Games}} is the largest strategy guide publisher in the United States. They have made a number of ''Pikmin''-related guides, with in-depth walkthroughs. On top of that, they also commonly include extra information about subjects in the series that isn't given anywhere else, like the scientific names of enemies in ''Pikmin''. While they are deemed official by Nintendo, they do occasionally contain errors, so how canon their content is is [[Canon#Debatable canon|debatable]].

This issue primarily features ''Pikmin'' on the cover and includes an in-depth review of the game. This was a first-look at many features the game had to offer for PAL region players, as the game had been released elsewhere but was not set to release in their region until June 14th, 2002.
